The Old Linden Tree

The Old Linden Tree

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a poem praising those first sips of tea

"
She beckoned to me
From the shadows 'neath
The old linden tree
A place that she hoped
Her father couldn't see
It's there where she served me
My first sips of tea
There in the shadows 'neath
The old linden tree

What a mysterious little poem. You have left me wondering if all she served was tea, why must her father not see? Was there more, you scamp?
